He was certainly a link for many of us to LaManzanilla. Perhaps a first time connection trying to get a rental or once you had fallen in love with the place a means to keep in touch with friends and news. Daniel was the moderator of LaManzanilla in so many ways.
He had opinions about a lot of things that people wanted to post on the board and sometimes they seemed quirky but he was open in his argument about why some posts shouldn’t appear and smart in diverting others to a separate thread. He was principled and fair.
